Gregoretti case : the majority M5s-Pd-Iv requested the postponement of the vote on the Salvini in the Council for Authorizations, expected on January 20 (close to the elections in Emilia-Romagna and Calabria). "They are afraid of losing face, they are without honor and without dignity," attacks the leader of the League.
Today the President of the Senate's Immunity Board Maurizio Gasparri asked to reject the request for authorization to proceed against Salvini. The proposal was put forward by the president in the report presented to the senators, at the beginning of the new meeting of the Junta. This is the answer to the request of the court of ministers of Catania against the former interior minister for the delayed landing of 131 migrants last summer.
"These are clearly entirely similar cases and any emphasis on secondary aspects does not change the reality of things. Therefore, for the reasons set out and in line with the continuity with respect to the decisions already taken by this body in this legislature, it is considered necessary to propose the opportunity that the Board consistently proposes to the assembly the refusal of the request for authorization to proceed as per the document in title ". It is the conclusion of the President's report.
"Regardless of whether or not a contest in the crime of President Conte is configurable (an element on which the Board, as mentioned, cannot, indeed must not express itself), a political-government involvement of the latter is certainly configurable , first of all proven by the absence of any contrary position on the conduct of the Gregoretti case by Minister Salvini and on the choices made by the same. The case was well-known and was in all the mass media and in all the newspapers of those days. No specific communication from Salvini was necessary because the elements of the story were fully visible in the press, "reads another passage in the President's report.
M5s Senator Mattia Crucioli asked to postpone the Senate Immunity Council's vote on the authorization to proceed against Matteo Salvini on the Gregoretti case, taking into account the suspension of the activities of the commissions of Palazzo Madama foreseen by the Conference of the group leaders from 20 as of January 26th due to the regional elections of the 26th.
